Petition & Thanksgiving Letters

1. Dear Mother Mary,

Forty years ago, it was you, Mother, who led me to your Son, Jesus Christ, first through the Novena devotion then, to the RCIA programme. The number of blessings and graces I have received over the last 40 years are simply beyond words. I cannot thank you enough. The Catholic faith I received is completely free but not without responsibility. Please continue to intercede for me to carry out works of mercy faithfully. Thank you, dearest Mother.

Your Faithful Son.

2. Dearest Mother Mary,

I want to thank you and your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, for your great love, care, guidance and the many, many blessings that you bestowed on us. Please continue to look after us and protect us from all harm. Happy blessed birthday, Mother Mary.

Your Loving Children.

3. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you for interceding for me as I got the job I prayed for. Please continue to guide me that I will do well in this job.

Your Grateful Son.

4. Dearest Mother Mary,

I would like to thank you and Jesus and the doctors for a safe colonoscopy that I underwent last September. All went well and the results were good. A polyp was found, and the biopsy results were negative and not cancerous. I am truly grateful to Jesus and to you for your Motherly care.

Your Loving Son.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

My family and I would like to say “thank you very much’ for praying and watching over my auntie. She had spine problems which were causing her pain. She was hesitant about surgery as it carried a high risk. But we placed our hope in you, dear mother, and you answered our prayers. Both operations went well, and my auntie was able to get out of bed the next day and walk. She is now recuperating at home. Thank you, dear Mother.

Your Loving Daughter.

6. Dear Mother Mary,

This letter is long overdue. I offered my prayers and asked for your intercession for my colleague who was stressed and was experiencing a burn-out. He is a single parent with a special-needs child and another son. It was tough managing work and family responsibilities all on his own. He decided to take a sabbatical. And I am thankful for the kind colleagues who helped with his family when he was away. Now he is back, refreshed and can smile again. Please continue to watch over him and his family. Thank you once again.  

Your Grateful Daughter.

7. Dear Mother,

Late last year I became pregnant after having been married for six and a half years. It was not our intention to plan for a baby. It was a life I did not feel I could be ready for. We prayed and after much struggle we decided to keep the child and now she surprises us in so many ways. We are today grateful to the Lord for his gift to us. In many ways the Lord has provided for our child, and we pray in faith that he will continue to protect and guide her. We are grateful beyond words.

Your Catholic Daughter.

8. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Countless times I have prayed for your intercession for my family problems and for friends who have asked me to pray for them and they have been answered. But each time I failed to thank you and Jesus and have taken your love for granted. So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, mother, and Jesus for your kindness, love and understanding. Please continue to guide and protect my family and friends.

Your Loving Daughter.

1. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

I like to thank you for your intercession through Jesus which enabled my cataract operation in June to be done safely, smoothly and successfully. My eye has healed very well. I am also grateful that my recent routine screening had good results and gave me a clean bill of health.

Your Loving Daughter.

2. Dearest Mother,

My mother is 88 years old and has advanced dementia. She is hospitalized and does not want to take her medication and meals. The helper’s work permit is expiring in October and I felt so burdened. I prayed to you for your intercession. After my prayers, I received the news that the helper has agreed to continue to look after my mum. Thank you, dearest Mother, for answering my prayers. I know that you are praying for us.

Your Grateful Child.

3. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for praying for my dad who underwent a smooth and successful hernia surgery.

Your Loving Child.

4. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you very much for your blessing and for answering our prayers. My niece gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl last week, all of us rejoice on the arrival of the new born, a bundle of joy for the family. Thank you so much, dearest Mother, for keeping my niece safe throughout her pregnancy. You are our Mother of mercy and we are most grateful to you.

Your Ever-Loving Daughter.

5. Dearest Mother,

A few weeks ago I wrote a petition to you to watch over my daughter’s friend who was admitted to hospital due to heart failure. Thank you for interceding for her as she is recovering well. This would not have happened without your prayers.

Your Daughter.

6. Dearest Mother Mary,

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for interceding for my girlfriend to finish her chemo for breast cancer. Thank you that the side effects of her chemo were bearable and she went through them as well as she could with all the graces from your Son. Thank you for interceding as her cancer genetics test that came back negative. This means her children are not at risk of inheriting her cancer genes and she does not need to go for more surgery.  

Your Grateful Daughter.

7. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

I asked for your help in July when my friend was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Thank you for interceding to your Son, Jesus. His surgery was successful and he is healing and getting better. Keep him cancer free and healthy always.

Your Faithful Daughter.

8. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for all the blessings in my life. I have a new job and have managed to sell my property.

Your Loving Child.

9. Dearest Mother,

My “thank you” to you is disproportionate to the love, guidance and help you have rendered to me as a Mother. Specifically, when I lost my own mother in 2017, I was drawn even closer to you as I had prayed fervently for a good death for my mum. At one Novena, during my anxiety about her passing, I had so clearly heard you say, “I will be your Mother you will not be alone when your mummy is gone”. Through the countless challenges at work and marriage, the numerous business and holiday trips I’ve taken and sicknesses as well as operations I’ve recovered from, you have been there interceding to your Son for me. So, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there. Truly, you are my Perpetual Help, carrying me through all the ups and downs of life.  

Your Catholic Daughter.

10. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for your love and intercession for all of us. We are really grateful to you for hearing our prayers. No words can express adequately my love and thanks to you.

Your Loving Son.

11. Dearest Mother,

I am writing this thanksgiving letter to say a big thank you for always watching over me and my loved ones.

Your Daughter.

1. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you for all your prayers and the blessings that I received from the Lord. My husband’s application to work in Ireland was approved and we are looking forward to migrate there as a family. Thank you so much for welcoming our family to the Novena Church while we were here in Singapore. We found a warm and loving Church here and we’ll miss you all until we meet again.

Your Loving Daughter.

2. Dearest Mother,

Thank you very much for interceding for all my intentions and for making things smooth and fall in place for me. I cannot thank you enough for all the countless blessings you have showered upon me without me realizing them. When I look back, today I realised everything happened for a reason. Thank you, Mother for the monetary aid I received through your prayers. With that I managed to share my blessings with my mum and siblings. Thank you for all your love that you radiate around me always.

Your Loving Son.

3. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you with all my heart and soul for your intercession for my husband when he was so critically ill and was on the verge of death. Through your loving intercession, he has miraculously recovered. Please continue to intercede for him to deepen his faith in God and to serve God in whatever way that God wants him to.

Your Loving Daughter.

4. Dearest Mother,

Thank you so much for watching over my niece during her pregnancy and for the safe and smooth delivery of her daughter on 31^st July 2023. Thank you for blessing my niece and her husband with a beautiful and healthy baby girl. Please continue to watch and protect them. Being new parents, please continue to grant them wisdom, love, patience and guide them both in their parental duties.

Your Ever Grateful Daughter.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

My husband and I would love to give thanks to you for the gift of life that we have been praying so hard for. We are now in the 18^th week of our pregnancy and will continue to pray hard for a smooth journey through this pregnancy. Thank you for bestowing this gift upon us and choosing us to be instruments of your love. We promise to be good parents and we look forward to baptizing our baby in the glorious name of Jesus Christ.

Your Loving Children.

6. Dearest Mother,

Thank you for healing me through your intercession for answering my prayers. Mother, I came to your shrine and prayed to you before I went for my mammogram in July. They told me there was small lump in my right breast. I needed to have a biopsy done. Mother, I was afraid and came to your shrine to pray and ask for your intercession. The biopsy was done and after 4 days the doctor phoned me to collect the results. I went to see the doctor and she told me there was nothing to worry and it was not cancerous. I jumped with joy and tears flowed as I was healed through your prayers, Mother. Thank you for your intercession to your Son, Jesus, for healing me.  

Your Loving Catholic Daughter.

7. Dearest Mother Mary,

Please accept my deep gratitude and heart-felt thanks to you in helping my daughter secure a new job so that she can look forward to new working environment to succeed in her job and career. With your help and guidance, she will be able to succeed in her career and life because only you and Jesus know what is good for her.

Your Grateful & Humble Son.

8. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

A few months back I was seeking your help to pray for my nephew that his work contract be extended as he is the only breadwinner in the family. I was so happy when he shared that his work has been extended for the next three years and in addition, his wife went back to work after the birth of their third child with ideal working times that suit their family’s needs. All these would not be possible if not for your intercessory prayers for them. I am so grateful to you, my Mother and to your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I thank you so much Mother Mary.

Your Grateful Child.

9. Dearest Mother Mary,

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for hearing my prayer. Thank you for helping to find a good buyer for my house. Mother dear, please continue to help me to be more prayerful and guide me in my daily life.

Your Loving Child.

10. Dearest Mother,

I have been recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My world came crashing down overnight and I was very depressed. I started praying the Rosary every night, asking for your prayers and intercession. One and a half months into my treatment and my latest x-ray report has shown improvement. Some of the cancer spots are no longer visible! I know this is possible because you have been praying for me and with me. I know this is just the start of my treatment and I continue to ask you to pray and intercede for me, our dear Mother. I pray that I can be completely healed through the grace of Lord’s Divine Healing.

Your Grateful Daughter.

11.

1. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the answered prayers and the miracle of my grand-daughter passing her exams in the university. Thank you for the daily blessings, love, care, protection and guidance. There are no words enough to express my gratitude to you, dearest Mother.

Your Grateful Daughter.

2. Dear Mother,

This is an overdue thanksgiving letter. My mother-in-law was suspected to have colon cancer a couple of months ago. I prayed daily and attended the weekly Novena Devotion. After undergoing several tests, she was cleared of cancer and the cause of her severe weight loss was merely a bacterial infection. I cannot thank you enough for if it was not for your intercession, her condition could have been worse. Thank you.

Your Catholic Daughter.

3. Dear Mother Mary,

I was caught up in a futile pursuit of seeking employment which God had continuously “disposed” yet I was too blind and too lost to see God’s promptings. It took me 17 months to see clearly before realised it. I give thanks to God for His patience with me.

Your Loving Daughter.

4. Dearest Mother,

I am very thankful to you for answering my prayers. Once again, you have helped my daughter to pass her second year of medical school. Without your intercession, I am very sure she would not have succeeded.

Your Loving Child.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

We thank you for always interceding for all our prayers. Thank you, Mother Mary, for blessing my family and always keeping us united even though there were ups and downs in our lives, misunderstanding between husband and wife, parents and kids and among the siblings.

Your Grateful Daughter.

6. Dearest Mother,

Thank you for interceding for our family especially my 4 year-old son. He is recovering from his stem cell transplant. The journey is still long, but we believe with your help, he will be able to overcome this trial. He is such a loving and happy boy and I thank God for giving him to me.

Your Loving Daughter.

7. Dearest Mother Mary,

I want to say a big thank you for helping my daughter who suffered from anorexia nervosa recover from her unhealthy eating and exercise habits. It is truly a miracle and it would not have been possible without your intercession. Thank you once again for showering us with your love and protection.

Your Catholic Daughter.

8. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you for the clear CT scan and good cancer blood test results. I have always come to you as I know you will help me. This thanksgiving is a little late, but I know that in my heart I am most grateful.

Your Grateful Child.

9. Dearest Mother Mary,

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Two months ago, I was suffering from ingrown toe nail infection that was really bad. I had seen a doctor but not much result and the doctor even informed me that if it does not get healed. I will have to remove the whole nail. I knew this would be a very painful process and would take weeks to recover. I asked for your help, my Mother, and you heard my prayers. I was directed to see another doctor for a second opinion and with your intercession, I was healed through this doctor.

Your Catholic Child.

10. Dearest Mother,

I am extremely grateful that my mammogram findings turned out to be non-cancerous. I know that this would not be possible without your intercession.

Your Non-Catholic Daughter.

1. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

We are grateful and thankful to you for your prayers and intercession. You have always been our Mother who listens to our sorrows! Our Lord has blessed my elder daughter with a job that offers her a very good position and salary. We thank you so much for bringing our petitions to God! We are also thankful that my 2nd daughter is starting to communicate with us. Thank You Mother.

Your Grateful Daughter.

2. Dear Mother,

This letter is to thank you for your intercession in granting healing to my cousin, who had respiratory problems which landed him in hospital in June. When we visited him in the hospital, his condition did not look good. We were not able to talk to him as he was heavily sedated and intubated. We could only pray by his bedside. By God’s grace and your intercession to Jesus, he was discharged eventually and is able to talk to his loved ones again. He was also able to celebrate his 73rd birthday a few days ago. Thank You for helping him get through his health crisis. Please continue to help him and his family.

Your Loving Daughter.

3. Dear Mother Mary,

A couple of weeks ago I prayed to you for my 9-month old baby to have a clean bill of health when he visited the heart specialist for a scan as it was discovered that he had a hole in his heart. On that day, my husband and I were nervous. Thankfully, the scans showed that the hole in his heart had closed and he was discharged. We were so relieved and happy. We know that it could not have been possible if not for your son Jesus’ healing mercy. Thank you for always looking after my family and me, especially my precious baby boy. You have always watched over him since he was in my womb, through birth and throughout his time on earth. Thank you for your prayers.

Your Grateful Daughter.

4. My Beloved Blessed Mother,

Thank you for always listening to my prayers. I wanted to write this thanksgiving letter, with gratitude, respect and love for your kindness, compassion and love. I have been praying since last year for opening pathways for my team members and myself ever since my previous boss left for the UK. I know that you have always helped me in my life. I have seen your helping hand throughout the year past in so many ways. When many of those paths didn’t quite work the way, I had in mind, you guided me to a job posting which piqued my interest. This role has allowed for me to join a global team where I get to work with diverse persons of incredible caliber, an opportunity to learn many new things, to work across different countries and departments to make that difference possible for others. Due to the scope of this role, it has allowed me to be promoted in a challenging economic environment and in the past few months, it has also revealed who my true friends are. For all of this, I am deeply humbled, very grateful and happy for your prayers. With thanks and in full faith.

Your Child.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

This is an overdue thanksgiving letter. This has been in my to-do list for about a year now. I would like to share this story with all who attend the Novena so that they will be inspired to offer petitions to our Lord through you. In August 2022, we had to rush my son to A&E after noticing a lump while changing his diapers. It was as if I was guided that day that I was to be the one to change his diaper and I noticed something not right. My son was not showing any sign of pain and he appeared to be well. After some research and reading, I decided to bring him to the GP for a check-up and right away the doctor advised us to go to hospital as soon as possible as he suspected the swelling could be a condition called testicular torsion and if confirmed my son, who was just 4 months old, then would need to undergo surgery to relieve and correct the health issue. I remembered calling out to you, Mother, to pray for my son and spare him from the surgery. After the scans were done, I was so grateful that the swelling was only caused by a bacteria and antibiotics were required to relieve the swelling. I know Mother Mary, that it was with your prayer that my son was spared of the risky surgery. Thank you, Mother Mary and Lord Jesus for always hearing my prayers.

Your Grateful Daughter.

6. Dearest Mother Mary,

8 months ago, I was feeling scared about my livelihood as my business was not taking off and I was running out of money. I came to your shrine and asked for your help to feed my family. You answered my prayers by sending Catholic investors who are passionate about helping other Catholics. Nothing I have ever experienced had prepared me for such blessings as they brought not just financial assistance, but most importantly wisdom. Wisdom in making decisions according to God’s will. Mother, you have answered my prayers and I continue to rely on your intercession for all of the company’s needs.

Your Loving Son.

7. Dearest Mother Mary,

Last year, my sister was diagnosed with cancer and our family was devastated. I wrote a petition to ask you to intercede to heal my sister. I prayed the rosary daily. My sister completed her course of chemo treatment, and her last scan showed that she is cancer free. My family and I are filled with joy for my sister’s recovery. My sister will re-join the work force at the end of this month. Mother I believe my sister’s recovery was made through your intercession and my family and I like to thank you for your tremendous love for us. Thank You Mother.

Your Son.

1. Dearest Mother,

I thank God for the gift of my colleagues, brothers-in-Christ who strengthen me in moments of difficulty. Thank you for loving us as your own children, and always leading us back to your Son, Jesus.

Your Loving Son.

2. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for your intercession and for hearing my petitions. My chemotherapy treatments have been smooth thus far and I’m only experiencing very mild side effects. Please continue to intercede for me and keep me strong physically, mentally and emotionally. Thank you, Mother.

Your Grateful Child.

3. Dearest Mother Mary,

Words cannot express how grateful I am to you. I prayed that my daughter-in-law would be able to conceive. After 5 years of marriage, they shared the good news that my daughter-in-law was expecting. I had been praying so hard for this gift. Yesterday, my grandson was born and I am overwhelmed with joy. I thank you dearest Mother for blessing me with this grandson and that my daughter-in-law had a safe delivery and that mother and baby are in good health.

Your Ever-Loving Daughter.

4. Dear Mother Mary,

I was extremely blessed today. My mother and I attended the 6pm devotion on 5th August. As it was about to begin, I started to feel breathless. I was having a panic attack, but with God’s blessings and grace, I was healed. We had to leave the devotion before it started but there was a kind gentleman whom I believe is a church volunteer who ushered me to a room to calm my nerves. It was at that moment that I realised how blessed I am to be under God’s love and protection. We did not have the opportunity to thank the gentleman. It has re-affirmed my belief in God’s love, mercy and grace.    

Your Grateful Daughter.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

Thank you for your intercession on behalf of my brother-in-law. He was diagnosed with stage-4 lung cancer a year ago, and reacted well to an oral drug that helped him maintain a very good quality of life. He had a relapse earlier this year, but again responded positively to a series of six chemotherapy sessions. Please continue to watch over him, and help keep his spirit and energy up, and enjoy each day of his life to the fullest.

Your Daughter.

6. Dearest Mother Mary,

My husband and I have been married for 15 years but in the last 3 years he has had a really tough time dealing with the death of his mother. In addition, he lost his job and had to deal with a few health problems. Through it all, we came to your shrine at Novena Church every Saturday to ask for your intercession. He is not Catholic but being at your shrine gave him strength and courage to overcome all the obstacles he was facing. We are forever grateful for all the blessings you have showered upon us. Thank you, Mother Mary for interceding for us.

Your Loving Daughter.

7. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

I have been attending the Novena devotion every week for the last 30 years. I have taken for granted all the blessings I have received over the years. Last Thursday, I had a frightening experience that led me to write this thanksgiving letter. I was holding the hands of my two young grand-daughters on their way back from school. We were about to step onto an escalator when I had a fall while still holding onto them. The first thing that crossed my mind was to protect the two girls who were screaming and crying. Within seconds, two ladies came to my aid. Thankfully none of us was hurt. It was a miracle. By then the two ladies had left and I did not even have a chance to thank them. Please bless them. A great thank you to you once again Mother, for keeping us safe.

Your Grateful Non-Catholic daughter.

1. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help, thank you so much for interceding for my son who has always had problems with his studies. He is now studying in the polytechnic. He has taken a longer route to get here but with your intercession he did it. He faced some issues and difficulties in his 1^st year and I have continued to pray and ask you to intercede for him. With your intercession, his lecturers are helping him and he is doing much better now and his morale has improved. Thank you, dearest Mother. Your Loving Daughter.

2. Dear Mother Mary, thank you for your intercession for the surgery of my uncle. His surgery went well and he is recovering now. Thank you, Mother, for your intercession for him and his family. Your Grateful Child.

3. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help, one year ago I almost left my job where I had been working for the last 28 years. I was tired and did not find the work fulfilling. I was prepared to live on my savings for a while and continue to look for a different job, Yet, I realised that looking for a job, no matter how experienced I am, was not easy even if I am prepared to negotiate my salary. While I was going through this phase, you once again interceded for me. You gave me an opportunity to remain in my current organisation. Today, I am much happier. I have a new role and find the work more stimulating and fulfilling. Thank you, Mother Mary, for being with me and helping me to make the right decision not just for myself but for my family as well. Your Loving Son.

4. Dearest Mother, thank you so much for hearing my prayers. I was in and out of jobs for the past 8 months and through your intercession I found a new permanent sales job. Thank you for being a Mother when I needed you most. Thank you so much for your intercession in my life. I feel truly blessed and cannot wait to see what God has in store for me in this new role. I will be forever grateful for your support, kindness and love. Your Child.

5. Dear Mother Mary, thank you so much for holding my hand and blessing my family and me and for protecting and healing us. I am grateful to you Mama Mary, teach me to be obedient and faithful like you and to do God’s will always. Bring us closer to your beloved Son, Jesus. Your Grateful Child.

6. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help, I am so grateful to write to you. There were floods in my hometown and I was very worried for my parents who were at home alone. The flood waters nearly went into my house. I came and prayed to you and subsequently the flood subsided within 2 hours. Thank you so much for listening and taking care of us. Your Daughter.   

7. Dear Mother Mary, thank you for helping me to be successful in my job application. I am aware that at the age of 58, it is not easy to get a job with a reasonable income. Your Catholic Son.

8. Dearest Mother Mary, thank you for praying for the successful brain surgery of my friend. It’s only been 4 days but she is recovering well. Your Grateful Child.

1. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

About two weeks ago my wife who has some dementia was alone at home, as I had to go to buy lunch for the both of us. On my return I was shocked to find an ambulance in front of my house. On reaching, I realised that my wife who was wandering at the back of my house had fallen, bruised one of her eyes and she could not get up. It was the foreign workers who were working at the back of my house on a project noticed her on the ground and called the ambulance. My family and I are deeply grateful to them. And we thank you Mother, and your Son, Jesus, that nothing serious happened to my wife after all the scans and medical observation done at the hospital.

Your Most Grateful Son.

2. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for your constant intercession to Jesus for my son. He is finally able to amicably settle with the ex-wife without a long court battle. This is only possible because of your loving and continuous blessings. Please continue to look with pity and mercy on my son and his children as they adapt to the new challenges in life. Keep them in your thoughts and care.

Your Grateful Daughter.

3. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

For the past months, I have sought your intercession for my son, who was sadly diagnosed with leukaemia. After sessions of chemo and numerous tests, we are very thankful that his bone marrow test came back negative for leukaemia cells, although he still needs to continue chemo for two years, to ensure the cancer cells are completely gone. Thank you, Jesus and Mother Mary, for walking with him throughout this very difficult, fearful and painful journey, and giving him strength every day. He is only two and a half years old, and we continue to ask for full recovery and good health as he grows into a fine man in years to come.

Your Grateful Daughter.

4. Dearest Mother,

I would like thank you from the bottom of my heart for protecting my husband and I from harm during our recent trip in June to Switzerland and Paris. The temperature was very low as we were up in the mountains, the Glacier. My husband had shortness of breath on the mountain top but fortunately everything was fine in the end. On the second day of our trip in Paris, I fell in the bathroom during my shower at night. I hit my head against the glass door and landed on the panel with a loud thud. Luckily, the X-ray showed that I had no fractures. I was fine and could return to work. If not for your timely assistance, I cannot imagine what could have happened to me. Thank you very much Dearest Mother for always protecting my husband and me from harm.

Your Loving Daughter.

5. Dear Mother Mary,

How can I thank you enough for always being there for me and my family through our times of sorrow and joy. I thank you for helping my husband to fully recover from his alcohol addiction and surviving a heart attack. Also thank you that my daughter had an encounter with the Lord that changed her life around. Truly nothing is impossible with God, through your intercession.

Your Grateful Daughter.

6. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Four weeks ago, I wrote to you for help for a safe and smooth surgery for my daughter. The surgery to remove her womb was successful and she was able to move about on the third day without feeling much pain. I know Mother that without your intercession, her speedy recovery would not be possible.  Thank you, Mother Mary, and your Son, Jesus.

Your Loving Son.

7. Dear Mother Mary,

Thank you for answering our prayers for my daughter to get into my wife’s alma mater primary school without a ballot as we don’t stay near the school. It was something we talked about before marriage, and I was very stressed during the years leading up to the registration. We never taught it possible, so we asked for your intercession and our prayers were answered. Thank you once again and to Jesus.

Your Loving Son.

8. Dearest Mother Mary,

This letter is long overdue. Two years ago, during the covid pandemic, I was out of a job due to the release of workers as production was low. I had to look after my mother, wife and young daughter financially. I wrote a petition to you dear Mother, asking for your intercession. It took only three weeks later when a friend called me and offered me a reasonably good job with full pay and benefits. I was so moved that thanking you had slipped my mind. After attending the novena three weeks ago, I remembered that I have taken your kindness for granted and failed to thank you and Jesus. So, I decided to thank you mother for your intercession, and you are indeed a loving Mother.

Your Grateful Son.

1. Dear Mother of Perpetual Help,

Thank you for guiding me and interceding in my prayers when I asked for strength and good memory during my exams. My results came back and I received good grades. This would not have been possible without your help.

Your Son.

2. Dearest Mother,

Thank you for being with me and protecting me while I was away last week. What stands out was when I saw the “green man” and started crossing the road, just then a van turned towards me. The traffic lights on both sides of the road were not in sync. I could have been knocked down, but both the driver and I stopped in time. Thank you for keeping me safe.

Your Grateful Daughter.

3. Dear Mother,

Thank you for your intercession. My husband had a life-threatening condition 2 weeks ago and had to be hospitalised for a week as the risk of developing a stroke was very high. We were worried and prayed very hard for him. Thank you for keeping him safe and our family is very grateful.

Your Loving Daughter.

4. Dearest Mother,

I celebrated my first wedding anniversary with my husband. Thank you for your intercession during difficult times and for the graces that we have received as a couple.

Your Catholic Daughter.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

Words cannot express how grateful I am for your kind intercession. You have been guiding and interceding for me throughout these years whenever I was in difficulty. You were always there to guide me out of my misery. However, I have not written a thank you note all these years. 3 years ago, our company was in financial difficulties and the Covid pandemic made it even worse. The salaries of our staff were reduced by 2/3s as business was practically at a standstill. I came to you for your kind intercession and 3 years later, we managed to secure orders and contracts. These not only enabled us to settle all of our outstanding loans but also back pay the loyal staff for the 3 years reduction of their salaries with an additional one-year bonus as well. All these will not be possible without your kind intercession. Dear Mother, you have shown over and over again that your love for us is always there and you are ready to intercede for us.

Your Grateful Son.

6. Dear Mother,

7. Dearest Mother,

Thank you for helping me see the needs for my family despite our current unfortunate crisis. I am more focused and calm now. I know that you are always there with me especially for the past 3 years. I would not have been ok if not for your intercession for me and my family. Thank you for the recent family reunion in Europe. I feel more assured now that I have trust in the goodness of God.

Your Grateful Daughter.
